Inspiration Challenge 259 ~ Plaid Pony Vintage

This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge comes from the Plaid Pony Vintage, a small independent company selling vintage clothing, accessories & housewares, primarily from the 1950's to the 1980's ... such a fun walk down memory lane for me ... I hope it is for you too.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I’ve uploaded three of my favorites … so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. The rest of you, remember to let us know which product from Plaid Pony Vintage that inspired you.

I asked Emily (ejkeaton) to join me this week in making some additional IC samples.

Use the keyword: IC259 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

ejkeaton’s Sample #1 ~ Ohio State Cardinal

ejkeaton’s Sample #2 ~ CAS Noel

My sample ~ Pull My Finger

IC259 Gallery

How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the pieces ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Remember, if you are inspired by the creation of another artist, please do not use print-outs of the art in your creation or directly copy their work. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!

Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Also, remember to link to your SCS gallery on this thread. Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

Thanks for the opportunity to make samples for this awesome Inspiration Challenge, Stef! This was a great inspiration site. I enjoyed every minute of both browsing the site (it really was a walk down Memory Lane!) and getting my samples ready for the challenge.

I'm not really into retro decor, but I found the site to have many items which could be used for inspiration. Thanks, Stef.
